Prediction
Medvedev would need to serve better against Sinner even though he will be playing on his preferred court. The World No. 3 was outsmarted in his last fixture against Alcaraz after winning his first two group-stage matches against Rublev and Zverev.
On the other hand, throughout the second part of the season, Sinner has been playing some incredible tennis and will be a home favourite against the Russian. The Italian has also won their last two fixtures and things have changed for him now even though Medvedev leads their head-to-head record.
Not to forget that he won three straight games to top the group, including his first victory over Novak Djokovic in one of the best matchups of the year breaking Serb’s 19-match winning streak.
However, Sinner, who is on a nine-match winning streak, will be entering the match with a back issue he faced in his recent win against Rune which might be a concern. If he can get through the issue, there is no reason to not support the Italian in this one.
